Urothelial effects of oral agents for overactive bladder.
Review in Current urology reports, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The cholinergic system of the bladder includes muscarinic receptors distributed to detrusor myocytes and structures within mucosa including bladder afferent (sensory) nerves. The receptors have been shown to be involved in afferent signaling from the bladder, but it has not been established to what extent effects on this mucosal signaling pathway contribute to the therapeutic efficacy of the clinically used antimuscarinics. Mucosa can be influenced by antimuscarinics via the bloodstream. However, some antimuscarinics and their active metabolites are excreted in urine in amounts that may affect the mucosal muscarinic receptors from the luminal side. This has not yet been demonstrated to imply superior clinical efficacy. Nevertheless, mucosal afferent signaling pathways are therapeutically interesting targets that should be further explored.
